Chapter 674 Reconciliation between Britain and Iran
While the external turmoil continued, Alan Wilson was also communicating with London, talking about the filing after the short-term settlement was over, and also seeking support from other countries.
The British Empire before World War II certainly had such strength, but it really does not have it now. This filing is that if the negotiations this time are successful, after the short-term settlement plan is over, a comprehensive oil company will be established to tie up European countries.
Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
This company can include France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, even Portugal and Spain, and even all European countries to jointly hold shares. Of course, it must be dominated by the United Kingdom. Even if the United Kingdom ultimately wins this Iranian nationalization movement, it will be enough to
Other countries recognize the vulnerability of Middle East oil supplies.
Faced with this vulnerability, on the one hand, it is necessary to change the profit distribution, and on the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen its own side.
The UK can lead all European countries interested in ensuring oil security, establish an international consortium representing Europe, take the lead in establishing the National Iranian Oil Company, and operate this new oil company in the manner of Aramco.
The National Iranian Oil Company nominally obtains the right to use all facilities, oil wells, and equipment, but the operating company has all exclusive rights to use it.
Let the Iranian government reach an agreement with international oil capital. The National Iranian Oil Company, as the owner, hires the international oil consortium composed of Britain, France and other European countries as contractors to control the production and sales of Iranian oil.
The international oil consortium signed an agreement with the Iranian government: the international oil consortium took over the oil exploration and production and marketing rights of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and handed over half of the profits to Iran.
In this way, the United Kingdom can tie up all European countries and establish an oil system with Britain as the core. Once this system is established, it will only target Iran now, but in the future it can be extended to all Middle East oil-producing countries.
I dare not say that it will definitely be able to block the petrodollar that has not yet appeared, but through the bundling of oil interests, the UK will at least be in the position of the euro. In fact, it is much more confident than the euro. In later generations, the euro will occupy a share of world settlement, and it has not yet reached 19
How many pounds were there in 1952?
In the telegram, Alan Wilson once again emphasized the importance of the Middle East. Whitehall responded in the affirmative and said that regarding the aviation transfer station plan in the Middle East, Alan Wilson could talk to the local sheikh. If he did not understand anything, he could directly ask the Palestinians.
Lun.
For his former boss Sir Barron, this period of time can be said to be a time when he broke his legs running fast for his former assistant.
When he was in New Delhi, he never thought that one day, he and Alan Wilson's character would be in different places, running forward and backward for each other.
But fate is so wonderful. There is no doubt that since getting married, Alan Wilson's career has been on the fast track, and he has become more and more valued by Whitehall.
However, Alan Wilson still expressed humility in front of his former boss. As soon as the two British men in Arabic robes met, they were shocked by each other's dressing up and couldn't help but laugh.
"How was the conversation with Mossadegh?" Sir Barron tossed his turban and asked about the progress of his former assistant.
"It's hard to say, I hope everything goes well." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, cautiously but also expressed his hope that everything would go well, and then asked, "Sir Barron, how are you doing over there? Whitehall will let me know, but
I don’t know how things are going. There are a lot of things I need to ask you about.”
"Actually, London's opinion is to merge our protectorates in the Persian Gulf into one country. Generally speaking, this is my job." Sir Barron shrugged and replied without concealment.
Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, another merger? He deeply felt that there were not 500 countries in the world, and the United Kingdom had a great responsibility for its persistence in mergers.
From British India to British Malaya, the British Federation of Central Africa, and the British Federation of East Africa. Britain has simply made a huge contribution to the unification of all parts of the world.
Even if he has reached this point, he is criticized for laying a thunder before leaving. Sometimes Alan Wilson feels that the accusations against Britain are very unjust.
Sir Barron revealed that he hopes that the nine protectorates of Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain will be merged into one
United Monarchy. Just like the coexistence of many sultans in British Malaya.
Alan Wilson immediately understood, isn’t this the United Arab Emirates? It turns out that in the earliest version, Bahrain and Qatar were also among them? This is quite surprising!
But if Qatar and Bahrain are included, and if this plan succeeds in the end, Alan Wilson cannot imagine how wealthy this country will be in the future, almost taking up all the factors of resource countries that are just making money.
"Whitehall's air hub plan is a plan to maintain British influence with these protectorates as the core." Although Alan Wilson is dissatisfied with Britain's habitual mergers, this plan can be an exception.
Each of these British protectorates is small in area, and even if they are all combined, the area will not be larger than 100,000 square kilometers.
Compared with neighboring Iran and Saudi Arabia, it is a very small country, but it will definitely become the richest country in the Middle East in the future.
Alan Wilson even wanted to add Kuwait, but considering the feelings of the Kingdom of Iraq, he decided against it.
Soon he was uncharacteristically supportive of the merger plan, and said that we could talk about the air transfer station. The construction labor force was readily available, and the industrial materials were provided by British Malaya. Didn't the labor force come from Pakistan?
"You are really a conscientious commissioner!" Sir Barron said with emotion, marveling at Alan Wilson's conscientiousness. Why you are valued by Whitehall can be seen from this incident.
"As long as the opportunity arises, if we don't do it, someone will naturally do it." Alan Wilson replied sincerely, "There is no shortage of people in the world who seize opportunities. It is better to leave it to people who are relatively reliable for Britain."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He remembers when South Korea started to get started in the 1960s, because Japan was also at its peak, South Korea could only do some bloody and sweaty work, and the Middle East was South Korea's main
work place.
At its peak, there were one million Korean workers working in the deserts of the Middle East. Those people worked hard in the deserts of the Middle East in military-like camps. People often say that the reason for the success of Korean companies is that Koreans are the only people in the world who can work in large foreign countries.
A nation that worked continuously for two years in the desert with strict military discipline without alcohol.
This world is not without its nations that can endure hardships. Alan Wilson does not want to wait for the Koreans to build the Middle East.
He had British Malaya under his own control that could handle this kind of work, and he did not need help from a country with American troops stationed there.
And from a long-term perspective, monopoly has always been the only choice to maximize profits. It is best to have as few competitors as possible. He even wants to suppress Japan, let alone another South Korea.
"It seems that we should speed up the construction of the transfer station. I think Dubai is a good place. It is right in the middle of Eurasia and is very suitable." Alan Wilson and Sir Barron discussed, "Our relationship with Pakistan is still good.
It’s not bad, let’s talk to them and let them provide workers, and we will provide industrial support to build an air transfer station.”
In fact, many of these current British protectorates have not discovered oil and gas resources. Although countries in the world generally realize that the Persian Gulf is a gas station for the earth, their attention is currently focused on countries with large areas such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
, pocket emirates like these go unnoticed.
Another factor is that these chiefs are generally British protectorates, and the local British troops also play an obstructive role.
Alan Wilson and Sir Barron reached a consensus on the location of Dubai as an air transfer station, and jointly wrote a report to London, officially deciding on the location of the air transfer station. Sir Barron went directly to Doha to prepare and fight for these
Emir's support settled the matter.
Soon Mossadegh appeared again, and the third negotiation on the profit differences between Britain and Iran began. Mossadegh put forward a new requirement that the accounts of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company must be transparent to Iran.
Previously, the British-controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Company refused to let others audit its accounts. The Iranian government had no way of knowing whether the fees paid by the British-Iranian Oil Company met its commitments. The British intransigence attitude also angered the Iranian people.
"No problem, this is a very reasonable request." Alan Wilson also hopes that this conflict will end as soon as possible. The accounting problem is already too small to be considered a minor issue.
In the third negotiation, both Britain and Iran showed sincerity, sharing one-third of oil profits and raw material support from the Imperial Preferential System. At the same time, Britain also stated that it would ensure that the Iranian government would maintain transparency in its accounts.
Some good news has also spread to Iran. Not all Iranians know what the Imperial System of Preferences is. But those who have been bribed by MI6 will come up with an explanation that ordinary Iranians can accept and even find exciting.
.
That is the system through which Britain's vast colonies help the British economy take off. Under this system, Britain can save production costs to the greatest extent and produce more products in less time than others.
Once the UK opens this preferential system to Iran, Iran will be able to get the best products and spend the least money to do things just like the UK. No amount of money can buy this.
Alan Wilson knows that with the current industrial level of Iran, joining can only get some benefits in terms of raw material costs. It is not enough to form a competitive relationship with Britain. Iran will get benefits, but it will bring greater benefits to Britain.
On June 26, Britain and Iran simultaneously announced that their differences over oil profits had been successfully resolved. Mossadegh said that this was a great victory for Iran and that Iran's prosperity was about to come.
"Another problem solved!" Alan Wilson looked at the signed joint statement and sighed as another issue was framed.
